The NEW BLACK

September 9, 2015

Black is every wardrobe’s staple no matter how substantial or adequate the wardrobe is. The international runways were seen flooded with all-black collections for the coming season – and all-black is never too much. From Vera Wang to Calvin Klein, designers rocked the whole-black collections in every genre of clothing.

My warm greetings to everyone. As the monsoons terminate, the temperatures have started to rise. As for me, I had a lazy day today. I slept a lot, had loads of ice-cream, watched a marathon of movies from “Gone Girl” to “Hunger Games” followed by a Bollywood blockbuster “Haider”. Even right now, I am multi-tasking – writing the post and watching “Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets”. (By the way, I am a die-hard fan of Harry Potter series. Thanks to J.K. Rowling for introducing us to such a fantasy).

Talking about black, the obsidian look is a classic and it represents so many tiers of clothing- chic, formal, mourning, corporate etc. In my recent look, I married a black silk couture shirt to scuba tights. Sometimes mix and match is necessary for an ensemble to be congruous to a locale. The other day, when I had to attend a semi-formal meeting, I thought of styling up my latest silk shirt from own label with something out from my closet. Wearing a shirt with a pair of jeans is too cliche, with a pair of trousers – too formal, and with a pair of shorts – Naaaa!!

Hello Leona,Did you write this post just so you can use a lot of Black Swan? he he. Reminded me of Toastmaster meetings getitng us to try to use the word (or words) of the day. :)I wander if anything can 解釋愛情. Imagine a world where we never meet our better half for the first time (by not go to that party, take that job, take that class, etc) our life would have been changed totally.So Black Swan or not, we are all lucky to have met our better halves as our lives will be totally different without them.

I see Leona,Nice to see you saying, “想來如今終於可以向他說: I’m over you.”You are too hmlube in saying “這篇文實在寫得非常爛”. If by writing this blog entry helped you, then it has done its duty and its a good entry. There is nothing as “十分不智”. In contrast, if you write something specifically engineered and crafted to fit your readership and market demand, while the essay/blog entry means absolutely nothing to you, then I would take the contrary view of calling it “十分不智”.What you did is good for you and I am happy for you. The operative word is “you”.”… 在從未想像過的情況下 感受狂喜與激情 他改變了你的常規 扭轉了你的生活 打開了你生命中的另一扇窗 ” These are all good. And I hope this is for the better, “甚至改寫了你的下半生 “You used Black Swan, let me use my version of Snowball. Imagine yourself as a snowball on the top of the hill, rolling down the hill, growing & getting bigger. For the snowball to get bigger, it need to find a nice tall hill with lots of nice wet snow to grow. The wet snow a snowball picked up on the hill are the friends and girl/boy friends a person meet over his/her life time. While these friends help define and make us, our friends and previous/current girl/boy friends are not us. They will be part of us but not us. The fun and unchangeable fact is we only get one chance in rolling down the hill, we may as well find a nice hill to pick up some good wet snow.And on this note, Leona, I view you as a blog friend, as one of those chunks of wet snow I picked up in my path down this hill. We may never meet but I do try to read and learn from you.I think this quote is fitting so allow me end with something by Bruce Mau,Allow events to change you.You have to be willing to grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: the openness to experience events and the willingness to be changed by them.
